How to Transform Yourself in Nioh 3: Hidden Teahouse Trade Guide

What to know

• You must complete the Fumi mission to unlock the Hidden Tea House.
• Transformations are purchased with Glory from the Trade menu.
• After buying one, a new “Transform” option appears in Change Appearance.
• Transformations are cosmetic and do not affect stats or gameplay.

---

In Nioh 3, transformation is part of the multiplayer and clan ecosystem tied to Glory. If you’ve seen other players walking around as Revenants or unique NPC forms, that’s not armor—it’s a cosmetic transformation purchased from the Hidden Tea House.

The system is simple once unlocked, but many players miss it because it’s tied to story progression.

Unlocking the Hidden Tea House

Before you can transform into a Revenant, you must defeat the boss tied to the Fumi mission. Completing this mission unlocks access to the Eternal Rift, where a new character becomes available.

Inside the Eternal Rift, you’ll find the Hidden Tea House, which serves as your multiplayer and clan hub. This location is central to Glory spending, clan management, and cosmetic transformations.

Without unlocking this hub, the transformation system will not appear in your menus.

Purchasing a Revenant transformation

Once inside the Hidden Tea House, interact with the NPC by holding the interact key. From there, select Trade. Within the shop inventory, you’ll find available transformations.

Each transformation costs Glory, and prices vary depending on rarity or type. Some forms are relatively affordable, while others require significantly more Glory.

Transformation Type	Glory Cost Range	Availability
Basic Revenant Forms	Lower cost	Early unlock
Rare Character Forms	Higher cost	Later rotation
Special NPC Variants	Premium Glory cost	Limited or rotating

When you purchase one, it is permanently unlocked for your account.

Applying the Revenant transformation

After buying the transformation, it does not activate automatically. You must manually apply it through the appearance system.

Here’s how the process works.

Step 1

Open the main menu and navigate to Change Appearance.

Step 2

Inside this menu, a new option labeled “Transform” will now appear (only after purchasing a transformation).

Step 3

Select the Transform tab to view all unlocked forms.

Step 4

Choose the Revenant transformation you purchased and confirm.

Your character will instantly adopt the new appearance.

The video demonstration clearly shows the visual shift immediately after confirming the selection.

What changes when you transform

It’s important to understand that Revenant transformation is entirely cosmetic.

Feature	Affected?
Stats	No
Damage Output	No
Armor Values	No
Hitbox Size	No
Voice / Visual Model	Yes
Player Identity Display	Yes

You retain your gear, weapons, and combat abilities. The transformation only changes how your character looks to you and other players.

This makes it a prestige feature rather than a gameplay mechanic.

Why players choose Revenant forms

Revenant transformations are popular because they:

• Allow visual distinction in co-op
• Showcase Glory investment
• Reflect clan or multiplayer involvement
• Provide a darker, more intimidating aesthetic

In multiplayer sessions, these forms can signal experience and online participation.

How Glory affects transformation access

Because transformations cost Glory, your ability to unlock them depends on multiplayer engagement.

You earn Glory through:

• Defeating Revenants
• Playing co-op missions
• Acting as a Visitor
• Donating items to your clan

The more active you are online, the faster you unlock premium transformation options.

Activity	Glory Efficiency
Co-op Completion	High
Revenant Farming	Moderate to High
Clan Donations	Moderate
Solo Offline Play	None

If you primarily play offline, unlocking transformations will take longer.

Can you switch back?

Yes. Transformations are not permanent in a restrictive sense. Once purchased, you can switch freely between your default appearance and other purchased transformations

Simply return to the Change Appearance → Transform menu and select another form.

Common mistakes to avoid

Some players purchase a transformation but don’t see it applied because they forget to visit the Change Appearance menu. Buying it alone does not auto-equip it.

Others mistakenly believe transformations increase power. They do not provide combat advantages.

Make sure you:

• Confirm purchase at the Hidden Tea House
• Navigate to the Transform tab
• Apply it manually

Visual identity and multiplayer presence

In a game heavily focused on online interaction, appearance matters more than you might expect. Revenant forms make your character stand out in co-op lobbies and Visitor sessions.

While they do not enhance performance, they represent investment in the Glory system and engagement with multiplayer features.

Transforming into a Revenant in Nioh 3 made simple

To transform into a Revenant in Nioh 3, complete the Fumi mission, unlock the Hidden Tea House in the Eternal Rift, purchase a transformation using Glory, then navigate to Change Appearance → Transform to apply it.

The change is purely cosmetic but highly visible in multiplayer. If you’re actively earning Glory, unlocking multiple transformations becomes a rewarding side progression path.

Once applied, you carry the Revenant look into every mission until you decide to switch again.
